'Life makes a Novel' is an absolute treat to read. It plunges the reader into action right from the beginning and immerses you into suspense throughout its course. We dive into Nain's story- a woman wrought by a life so unprecedented- who would often find herself at crossroads, succumbing to taking difficult decisions alongside her sensibilities. The narrative is gritty, textured, and makes a strong impression on the reader's senses.
Nagwa's direct and uninhibited writing style is an impulse towards wholeness, engaging her readers both emotionally and intellectually.
Madeeha Raza Founder/CEO Women Through Film Compelling, creative and downright realistic. The characters in this book, their conundrums, personality traits, and choices are universal. It's a great read with brilliant character development and depicts the blurred lines between wants and needs beautifully.
Fatima Hasan, Lecturer Critical and Creative Writing at ITU, Curriculum Developer and Researcher. A well- written narrative portrayed through the character of a forty-five-year-old woman who has gone through the struggles of survival, and recalls her story of how the series of events took place. This realistic fictitious prose will resonate with anyone who knows even a little about the Crown rule in India and later the divide of India and Pakistan. What I like about this book is that for someone like me who is not an avid fiction reader nor is interested in history or politics will also connect especially to Nain's character and to every emotion that has been beautifully expressed. Also, each individual goes through struggles, but Nain's struggles that unraveled through her memories and how she faced and dealt them is something that will give courage and a different lens for one to look at life through.
Afia Aslam, Dyslexia Practitioner Nain did not have a normal life...not by our standards; coming from a world of war and perpetual death in Indian Occupied Kashmir, narrowly escaping to Pakistan with only half her family intact-barely-may have influenced her profession as a journalist. Life as a reporter and a photo journalist wasn't that rosy either, but it suited her inner restiveness, her inner rage that she thought had finally died out. And now she wondered if she was right to continue along this path. Perhaps she needed a change in direction. Start afresh, to a place like France maybe? Soon after she'd begun to settle down she met Rafay, a handsome young man with odd eyes and a scar tracing his jawline. Not only was he handsome, but he was audaciously flirtatious, and he promised adventure, excitement and danger-just the kind of life she thought she wanted to leave behind.
